can these be used in recessed lights

Yes, this bulb can be used in recessed lights - but it is smaller diameter then my recessed light cans, so there will space around it. Here is the larger diameter bulb that fits what I think is the "standard" recessed light: Feit BR30/DM/LED LED Dimmable BR30 Reflector .

I use a Cree 9 watt LED bulb in an outdoor fixture, which is controlled by the Honeywell RPLS531A. Works fine. Don't know about the recessed aspect but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't. In my application, the bulb is facing downward, inside an outdoor fixture.

I believe that the lightahead is a little bigger that a regular bulb. Also depending on how recessed the area is you might lose some of the spread of the light but I think it would still work.

I know they can be used on a dimmer switch, I would imagine you can. Buy one and try it. If it don't than you can always use in another lamp!! They are assume bulbs!!!!

Dont see why not, but why not run a compact fluorescent instead. These are very well made fixtures, heat should not be a problem either way.

i couldnt see why they could not. but i dont know if they are rated inside or outside. i know they look as good as any flicker flame bulb i have EVER seen and i am gonna put some out on my deck this summer. the price is RIGHT for sure.

I would say yes. We use them in lamps but I don't see why you couldn't use them in hall ceiling fixtures or outdoor lighting.

I believe they cannot be installed where they would be in contact with insulation. You should install these lights in 4" cans that are rated for insulation. I do not know of any way they are able to be installed without proper cans.

You should be able to. They even kinda work with CFLs; although I don't recommend it.

I don't see why not. Especially if the enclosure is sealed. I'm really happy with these bulbs

I don't think so. I am using them in outdoor stringlights. You should ask the seller. This seller provides amazing customer service, and is very attentive.

I would think this bulb would be OK for recessed can light, as long as you have a lens over it. This is not a spot but should work. These stay cool to touch never get hot.

NO However, they are not water proof and with exposed contacts, could short out. Note that the center for a connection is supposed to be positive but often is not. The lamps will not work unless polarity is correct, they are diodes after all.

I just did it and it worked fine, so yes they can be. But they are wall mounted so I.m not sure about them being the only light in the room, they can be bent a small amount to give the bulb more light but I wouldn't use it as the only light source.

Most recessed lights are not rated for use with insulation, I use TENMAT FF130E Regular Covers. Nothing special to do just cover the light and no more insulation gaps in your attic. You can find these on Amazon, or from Tenmatusa.com

I'd ask a licensed electrician...For a sales person to say only recessed lighting they aren't very informed. I had an electrician install a bathroom fan/light fixture over my tub so I know you can do more than recessed. The recessed light they are talking about is in a shower stall.
